It has been awhile since we have posted on the blog. I want to post a hat pattern that a few of us were discussing at the last Holy Needles Meeting. This particular pattern is for an adult, but could easily be modified for a baby.
This pattern is a new challenge, as it uses the front post double crochet (FPDC) and the back post double crochet (BPDC). Using these two stitches creates a beautiful basket weave.
It isn't as hard as it looks. If you know how to use the dbl crochet, you can pick this up. The pattern I used came from a blogger, Diamond Crochet and Crafts. Here is the link to her post with details on this hat HERE.
I personally watched THIS video on YouTube to help me "get" the FPDC and BPDC down.
Good Luck and be sure to share if you try this! Any questions, I am learning right along with you, but will be happy to help.

Holy Needles was formed in March 2009. We crochet, knit, sew, and quilt matching beanies, booties, and blankets for newborns of families in need, blankets, hats and scarves for homeless, blankets for chemo patients, pillowcases for children in transition, and prayer shawls are created to provide comfort for emotionally needy. Our items are distributed at local hospitals, the VA, other groups, and charitable organizations in Tucson, AZ. Our goal is to gracefully meet the needs of the needy.
